Guillermo Torres was arrested in late July because police thought he was the suspected killer, Samuel Calvario. But Torres was cleared Thursday after DNA testing determined he was not Calvario, the man sought in the Nov. 9, 2000, killing of 31-year-old Daniel Felix. This could have been anyone, and they never really verified his identity,” said Torres’ attorney, Leonard Levine. With the help of Torres’ two employers, who believed he was an innocent man wrongly identified, Levine was hired to defend Torres. As doubt grew that the man in county jail was the accused killer, a judge ordered Torres’ release with electronic monitoring.
